Poch!Have we decided who the 2023-2024 scapegoats are yet? Or still a bit early to say?

Poch!Have we decided who the 2023-2024 scapegoats are yet? Or still a bit early to say?
I think more will come. He's doing what is asked of him.Ok. I completely disagree and want a lot more out my 60m centre-forward.
Opinions init.
That´s actually a good point!
Emerson is not known for his pace though is he.So just another half a dozen signings to make over the next two weeks....
Emerson, goal aside got roasted twice.
United have more pace than that lot.
Yes I prefer that as the wingers really arnt playing like wingers. Play Sarr for skip gio for kulu behind front two. Then you can play porro at rb so we have pace on both sides. Sarr is athletic enough to cover the right unlike skipp. Who seems to think since his an 8 he doesn’t need to get back. Compare him with madd who’s also playing as an 8. He gets around the pitch much more.I agree. Skipp is not an 8. I would bring in GLC.
Could we play two up top? Son and Rich. Take out Kulu. Put in GLC. Take out Skipp. Put in Sarr.
I think more will come. He's doing what is asked of him.
Also think he did well on one attack to turn his defender near the halfway line who had to foul him to stop him being away.
Want him to get a couple so people can move on.
Their penalty area was constantly packed. Brentford get plaudits but they offered nothing second half. If they had scored towards the end it would have been a mugging.
We lose the game without Madder's creativity.No, Bissouma was awesome, he bossed and owned the middle of the pitch
I really hope so for SonnySon was tragic. Let’s not forget that however soft, he was the one who gave away a pen and so, was a net negative throughout the game.
I hope he can rediscover form and it can work out as he is the captain and he will probably be given some margin of leniency as a result.
For a minute there I thought that was your scapegoat list!1. Bissouma
2. Maddison
3. Udogie
4. VDV
The 4 real standouts for me. Really impressed by all four. I still think it's a shame we weren't in for a Diaby as from what I saw vs. Newcastle he looked like he'd suit an Ange team, a lot more electric and active than Kulusevski.
Poll after our first loss.Have we decided who the 2023-2024 scapegoats are yet? Or still a bit early to say?
Also although we dominated in the 2nd half we never really looked like scoring.Brentford created more than us first half and we created more than them second half. Draw was a very fair result, they missed an open goal.
Did you watch today's Game? If Conté had Played Bassouma with Dier and Sanchez as CBs, he might as well have committed suicide. Our big problem for the past 4 seasons are our CBs. If Ange had played Dier and Sanchez today it would have been 5-2. VdV coming back is a must.What the fuck was Conte thinking, if only he'd played Bissouma a bit more last season.
They got extremely lucky with their goals though.Brentford created more than us first half and we created more than them second half. Draw was a very fair result, they missed an open goal.
I think you are right. If they aren't prime Messi from day one they are considered to be shit.
Most of the negativity appears to come from 'fans' that don't actually go to games.
Good point. I hope Ange can show some tactical flexibility. Today he didn’t just did like for like and didn’t try anything different. Like I said try kulu on the left maybe? Son down the middle. Put Gio on instead of kulu or rich. Try Solomon instead of kulu. Yet he just went like for like almost like cunte. We could have won that gane with a bit more nous as we didn’t have the pace to beat them but he didn’t really do anything. Could have tried porro as well. Bit disappointed tbh in himfir not being braver. Brentford let us have the ball we did next to nothing with it in the 2nd half.Think we cant afford to have Richarlison and Son in games when teams park the bus like today. Both offer close to nothing creativity wise.
And on my non-stream, they said that if you are substituted for concussion you have to rest 7 days minimum.The commentary on my stream was we wanted to use a concussion sub but didn't use the correct method so it was a normal sub. Obviously that may have been wrong
